Stevens County board accepts clean audit, approves financial statements and small donations; copier lease renewed
Summary
County officials reported a clean audit and adopted the financial statements that show year-over-year fund balance increases; the board also accepted a $5,000 donation to SWAP and approved a copier lease renewal.
The Stevens County Board of Commissioners accepted a clean audit report and voted to approve the county's financial statements for the year, county finance staff reported.
The county auditor or finance presenter said the audit was completed "clean" and walked the board through key figures: total revenues of $26,104,727 and expenditures of $20,349,348, yielding an increase in net position that the presenter tied to capital and grant activity. The presenter said total county net position increased by about $5.8 million from the prior year and that the county's overall fund balance ended the year at about $23,052,717.
After the presentation, Commissioner Munger moved to approve the financial statements; the chair called the question and the motion passed by voice vote.
Separately, the board accepted a $5,000 donation to SWAP from the Pandya pipeline for training purposes. A motion to accept the donation passed by voice vote. The board also approved a copier lease renewal for the county extension office; staff explained the lease includes a monthly fee and maintenance and that the county sees similar pricing across vendors.
County staff noted highlights from fund-by-fund balances: the general fund ended with about $6.6 million (roughly 69% of general-fund expenditures), the road and bridge fund ended at about $3.6 million (about 49% of its expenditures), and human services and solid waste fund balances also showed year-over-year increases.
No board member opposed the motions on the audit, donation acceptance or copier lease. Staff invited commissioners to review the financial book in staff offices for further questions.
